At a time when tensions on the peninsula were heating up, South Korean Defense Minister Yoon Suk-yeol rushed to Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi Province on the 28th to inspect the local "Central Front Forward Surveillance Post (GP)". Yoon Suk-yeol issued a tough order, asking the South Korean army to be prepared, and if it encounters a provocation, it is not to report it as soon as possible, but to "cut it first and then play it", that is, to take counterattack actions before reporting to destroy the provocative intention.
At the same time, South Korea's National Intelligence Service issued an "invasion alert" warning that North Korea could launch a provocation in early 2024. This suggests that South Korea believes that the countdown to North Korea's actions has entered and that a crisis is imminent. With the "US-ROK Alliance" and the "US-Japan-ROK Alliance" constantly strengthening, the DPRK felt threatened and reached cooperation with Russia. North Korea successfully launched satellites, rockets, and intercontinental missiles, which directly shocked the United States. Kim Jong-un warned of a nuclear response to nuclear provocations and demanded that the military be ready to respond to confrontational actions by the United States.
Recently, the situation in the "38th Parallel" has been very tense, and the DPRK troops have been redeployed to the vicinity of the "38th Parallel", including the redeployment of outposts and trenches, and they have regained their positions. The situation on the front line is complicated, Seoul is only a few dozen kilometers from the "demilitarized zone" of the front line, and faces the threat of long-range artillery of the North Korean army. In order to guard against a surprise attack by North Korean special forces, Seoul even conducted a "simulation training" of joint operations between the South Korean army and the police to simulate the handling plan in the face of a "North Korean attack".
However, some experts believe that the situation on the peninsula has not actually reached such a bad point, and Yoon's tough measures may be an attempt to divert attention and cover up the fact that his approval ratings are declining. Yoon Suk-yeol's approval rating has recently dropped to about 30%, and in order to salvage the situation, he has carried out a cabinet "big change". However, this did not work, and the approval rating remained unencouraging. Some people in the same camp as him, including former leader of the People's Power Party, Lee Jun-seok, have chosen to "set up another mountain", showing that Yoon Suk-yeol's approval rating is in jeopardy. In order to save his popularity, he took a risky move to salvage the situation by flaunting his "tough image", but this move could further escalate the situation in the "38th parallel" and increase the risk of "misfire".
